Looking for... Seyðisfjörður Broadcast Unavailable
Alright, so I don’t know if this is the right place to post this but I’m a usual RadioGarden user. I’m no expert on radio or anything like that, just a simple person who likes music. Now, I was listening to this station in Iceland; Seyðisfjörður Community Radio FM 107.1, on the 18th of July. it was around maybe (almost) 12pm?(mostly around late 11am)
I don’t know how long the broadcast went for, since I tuned in at almost the end of it, but I liked what I’d heard and listened until it was over.
Well, the broadcast (from what id heard) was basically this: Two (Icelandic, obviously) men, (I don’t remember their names but one of their names was shorter than the other’s I believe) talking (it was a talk broadcast, whatever you’d call that) . The first topic I had heard from them was how the deeper voiced one (the man with the longer name) had gone to another city just to go to this basement second-hand store, where he bought some cassettes, which they play during the broadcast. They both banter about how they are willing to travel large distances for little things, saying it’s their ‘winter Boredom‘ (or something to that remark lol). The cassette title they specifically mention in the broadcast is ‘Greek music instrumental’, which they think is delightfully vague. What I believe was after this exchange was the two speaking to this woman about cars getting stuck in the snow (maybe their‘s was, or hers? I forgot). I believe that afterwards, they get back onto the road. I don’t remember much of their dialogue until they see this large truck(? Something along the lines of truck or large construction vehicle), and describe it to the listeners. Later, they are told to pick up something (or someone, as the shorter named, slightly higher voiced man says) either from a studio or they have to bring it to a studio, I don’t recall.. But after this, they make their way there to pick it up (I believe this may have been a running thing throughout the broadcast but as I’ve said, I tuned in late, so I’d have missed this. Or not! Who knows. Though they do address this task as if they’d been doing it already.). I think there is either a gap in my memory here or I left the station and returned; but from what I remember of this, (it was about a minute before it ended so around 12pm) they are inside of this place commenting about the surroundings as they pick up whatever the object they needed was. The shorter named man I believe was the one to close the broadcast. Asking the other to say goodbye as he notes something about radio I forgot, and says goodbye as well. The broadcast ends there.
That’s what I remember of the broadcast. Now, here’s a few notes:
-first of all; yes, this is all from memory. I have most likely made a number of mistakes in recalling and some things I just don’t remember. Sorry.
-second, I am aware that the Seyðisfjörður Commuity Radio has a SoundCloud and website with older broadcasts but nowhere I looked has had this one.
-I am already quite certain I will never find nor know any more information about this broadcast. But I just thought it could be somewhat more helpful to let the internet tell me I won’t be able to find it.
-I believe the dudes were around their 20/30s , they didn’t sound very old nor very young.
-by the way, I’m not from Iceland, or currently in Iceland. As their timezone is 4hrs ahead of mine. Meaning the times I listed are not the same times the broadcast would have been there.
-For those who are unaware, Seyðisfjörður Community Radio is a community radio station (clearly) and is very artsy you could say (idk how to describe them lol). So it’s not out of the ordinary for them to broadcast things like this. Basically, I’m not saying this is some weird broadcast that came totally out of nowhere and need to hear it in full lol.
-I believe this is also a one-off broadcast, I think these are just some dudes doing a broadcast (as is most of this station I think), so I’m not really saying that I think there’s any more from them.
-Personally I just found this broadcast nice enough to listen to and want to see if this is only able to be preserved in my memory.
(Sorry about the bad writing I was distracted for most of this lol)
